World Cup 2026

[I'm With Stupid]

Perhaps they'll wheel out Diana Ross again - didn't she mess up the opening of a previous World Cup in the States ?

Classic quiz question that. Who was the first person to miss a penalty at the 1994 World Cup?

There is talk of moving games at last notice if there is civil unrest in the democrat run cities -what happens to fans who have booked flights/accommodation if a game is moved e.g. from Seattle to Chicago??

Ridiculous politically motivated hyperbole from Orange El Duce in an attempt to be able to put troops on the streets and make it seem like Dems can’t even govern their own cities, let alone the country…and he’s the only one that can fix it, so he MUST STAY ON!!

He’s picking fights in cities TO CREATE A DISTURBANCE, which he can then use to say “I told you so!”

I’m surprised there has not been a shooting yet! With masked, unidentified, plain clothed “officers” of some agency or another (no-one knows and they ain’t telling!) grabbing people on the streets, it’s not going to take much for a scuffle to end up with an officer either getting shot or a shoot out in the middle of the street in broad daylight. THEN, TRUMP WILL HAVE HIS JUSTIFICATION and it’ll all get ratcheted up to 11!!

He is an absolute disgrace and the power he has taken, and with the complete acquiescence of Congress, and the Courts struggling to keep pace with his constant overreach (it’s a lot easier to sign an EO written by others than for the courts to schedule, hear and decide on complex, often untested, aspects of the Constitution), his flex is causing chaos.

Meanwhile, Congress is shutdown and the Republicans completely control when…OR IF…it (EVER) opens again!!! They’re getting everything Vought wanted and more, and Steven Miller’s wanking arm must be falling off over the power he has been allowed to have. Miller & Vought are the Shadow President and Vice-President at this point!

FLOOD THE ZONE
SET THE AGENDA
LEVERAGE THE CHAOS
NEVER TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS
APOLOGIZE FOR NOTHING. EVER.

Believe me, the football is the least of my concerns for Summer 2026, as there could me mass demonstrations, or worse, once the hot summer madness gets started! And don’t think for a second these assholes aren’t afraid of creating a false flag event to cement more and more powers in Trump domestically. With Hegseth salivating over being “Chief of Police” for the nation and Noem cosplaying Guerilla Barbie for every camera, microphone or propaganda soundstage she can find, we are heading towards a set up that will shape the 2026 November election that EVERYONE thinks Trump and the R’s will lose…so why allow even a crack in their Power Triad (White House, Congress, SCOTUS) by ALLOWING an election during a period of...Martial Law!

We are already in uncharted territory. The only question now is how far are they willing to go, and for what ends??? At this point, the World Cup has become simply another leverage pretense for them and Trump is luring Infantino into his web to give him even more leverage. It’s a blatant suck job and is a disgrace.
